Description
With such a rich history, little wonder Eterna is tempted to revisit some of its iconic designs. One of the first is the celebrated Eterna Pulsometer chronograph produced in 1942. Its astute pulsometer scale considerably accelerated the time-consuming task of taking a patient's pulse. At the time, it was the first and only pulsometer chronograph available to medical personnel in Switzerland.
Eterna has now reissued an exact duplicate of the Pulsometer, with a case slightly larger than the original design. In salute to its year of issue, only 1,942 Pulsometer Limited Edition chronographs are being produced, each bearing its own identification number.
